Well to be honest I don`t like such "loaning troops" system also if there is no war declared and Purist was telling all the time that it will not work so we didn`t use it. It was found out by accident that this works when Turkish ships were suddenly involved in naval battle although France wasn`t in the war with Turkey. Second time when such accident happened was during land battle at Valencia but this wasn`t major mistake as I wanted to declare war on Turkey in the same turn but forgot to send it to Purist when I was sending actual diplomatic and reinforcement orders. So in general - you used that once and I used once. If everybody thinks that this is not how it should happen in game then we could agree that we`re not using it and that`s all.

the problem is I have purposely not used it ever since that naval battle. Me and Purist have actually changed moves to accomadate rule.

Actually it was a major mistake. As if you had declared war then England would of been in control of the armies in spain and saved Turkey a ton of money which is what allowing your current success back in Turkey

Do you think you're the only one? I also had to adjust several times strategy as Purist reminded that such option will not work even after this naval battle. Therefore I'm saying - you used it once and I also once.

Where?
Snowy could confirm - he asked several times earlier for such option and got my response that it will not work in the battle (at least that`s what Purist told us).

Later it was May07 land move where combined Franco-Spanish forces attacked Valencia and British garrison were destroyed and Turkish surrendered. This is the turn that I forgot to declare war on Turkey and you can see orders thread - my forces had to concentrate at Peterwarden because of that as I couldn`t enter Turkish territory.
Next turn war was declared and France was in war with both Britain and Turkey (same goes to Spain).

Well,... while I was away I did receive a response from Matrix Games gurus on the problem with loaned corps and they suggest that loaning army units not be used.

The reason for this is that eventually there will be a game engine failure to recognise the corps as loaned. When this happens one side or the other will find their helpers not present in the battles even though they may be at war.

What is recommended instead is that players 'co-ordinate their moves as best they can to take advantage of situations.

We have not seen the glitch show up yet but I suspect that with 8 years of game play since the release that it will happen and that will be bad for the game that we have put so much time into.

A the same time the fleets on loan work as the rule was intended. Go figure.

They are working on a new patch but I have not checked to see if it is complete yet.

As game moderator I am inclined to simply drop the usage but I am open to discussing this. Just keep in mind that the glitch is there and I would rather avoid that sort of disruption.
